"When the time comes to do aThe brain mar be reasonably comparedto a field in. this respect.

It. But If youmake the same resolution day after day.week after week, montbafterlncnth. andyear arter year, the idea-will be so fairlyworn Into your brain that your subconsciousself carries It .into action without any effortof your consdous self.To make a good resolution onoe Is betterthan imr to make It at all. Just a littlebetter, unless you are a person of extraordinary will. Determination win enable youtodo anything within reaaon, yet to carry outa good resolution by a pure sort of obstinacy may be for a while like llftlsc yourself by your boot straps.It Is not the great general resolutions thatare the roost Important. These are often nomore than the expression of an Ideal, andnot resolutions at all. not constant determinants to- action. An Ideal may be the lastthing a man loses, even when he Is allowinghimself for lack of daily resolution to ds-terlorate rapidly.Daily Resolutions Best.It Is resolutions which belong to the dayand hour and that must be dally and hourlymade, upon whlchfdepend the realisation oran Ideal and the living up to a great or eventhe greatest resolution.! There la one greet resolution, referring towhat seems a very amsll thing, that mustbe renewed dally. It is against an enemythat nearly every man and woman has toarray the force, of dally life to meet, andwhich must be overthrown as often as itwhich must be overthrown asappears if they are to be happy and successful In whst they undertake.This enemy, this foe to accomplishment.Is procrastination. There Is no surer hindrance to both dally and future happiness,to health of both mind and body, toaccompllthment of every sort, than this same procrastination. The makers of modern business mottoes recognised this foe ss the mostcess manor rwoBoucu ui iw u uis wwiinsidious and percent in the business worldwhen they printed " Do It now " In large let-ters and got It hung above thousands of desksof men of business.'Not only In the business world "bat In theeoclal the victims of procrastination are tobe counted by the thousands. The prisons,the Insane asylums, and especially the poorhouses are filled with men and women whonever did today what they could put off untiltomorrow. The most brilliant minded menhsve "lost out" because they bare notresolutely risen against this foe. Artists ofall sorts have been prone to procrastinate,often looking bitterly on while men of talentand resolution have outstripped them In the.cwiuugu wRft wuumppeoutn in ma: for honors and recognition.

Themanwho has a taste for drink and hesitates orprocrastinates in the putting of temptationinetantlybehlnd him. isas good as lostNo one can estimate how many of the deadly wearinesses of the world are due to procrastination. " I am never tired when I getthrough with the program planned for theday." saya a certain famous worker, " butwhen there is something left over, or leftundone, I am tired, very tired,"Thousands of other people may be tired outfor the same reason, without exactly under-stsndlnewhy. They are those who never setcaught up with their work. "Worse thaa this.they get a little farther behind every yearuntil they become quite hopdessly draggedSome Important Facts ThatEvery Worker Should Remember.ByIRWINTHAT every Job is a torture to thebungler and a training to the capabledoer.That there Is not a Job ln'the worldthat has no rough angles in ItThst men out of a Job eovy tollers morethan the latter envy the millionaires, andwith, far more reason-That the most humble position ts a post ot"honor when it is honorably filled.That every man has bis limitations, andthat overstrain on the body or brajn alwaysinjures both the body, and the brain.That while we may thoroughly believe In aneight hour day or even in a six hour dayj.we notice that under present conditions fewmen .have risen very high without oftenworking twelve hour, a day, with occasionalwork at nightThat the way to do fast work is first to dogood work slowlynd gradually increase thespeed.That men are not born equal tn. ability anymore than a rabbit is born a lion.That only a few can win the best places,and that every one has missed some grandgoal. .Ming, una no excuse 10c not aoing u. youleave the thing undone which you -ought todo today, you are likely to leave It undonetomorrow, and through a succession of tomorrows, tin opportunity U lost, money orhealth, or both, gona.

They leteach blue day slip uselessly away, .withoutgladdening their own hearts by one accomplishment. Habit an Old One.The habit of procrastination li perhapsss old as the world Itself. The foolish virginsof the parable procrastinated. The cricketof the fable procrastinated while the antlaid -up her winter store of food. Ancientproverbs warn us agalnstthls habit. "Astitch in time saves nine." For the wantof a nail in time the shoe was lost from thehorse's foot, and in the end the rider andthe battle were lost, and all for the wantof 10 simple a thing as a horseshoe sail.Parable, proverb, fairy tale, fable, allegory,and apologue teach directly not to procrastinate, and the world Is full of Indirectlessons teaching the same thing.The thoroughly shiftless person Is the onewho allows, himself to receive disastrousodds against this foe of procrastination.Should lie happen to be a fanner for Instance,there are more risible, material proofs of hissurrender than In the case of men of different,,.., v. ,h M .-.?!- -,,.,;'" ""?7.',,-, ,M mn(, , 7,ery neglected, crops ungathered or but halfharvested, are-not as plainly visible.Perhaps In the beginning not more than anhour was needed to repair the back fence, toput mowing machines under cover and Inorder for the next season, to put a fewJto , riTthTd branch?. ..,.. ... ..utM lromshingles on the bam. to mend the cattlea fine fruit tree, but time and place were notlouno, jor usee tnings, and in the end thenumber undone became so large ss to renderthe farmer hopeless.

As "a clerk he was unusually accurate and reliable- Rarely did he evermake mistakes In addition or multiplication.Probably bis well' known ability made him'feel free to tell of a vary bad blunder he oncemade when In the employ" of a railroad, campany. By sheer carelessness he had sent acargo of perishable goods from Chicago toPortland, Ore . Instead of to Portland, Me.For- this blunder he was neither dischargednor fined, fh6ugh the loss to the railroad wasequal to seversfyears' of bis modest salary.When "he left that job later It was because abetter position was offered bim.How many .mistakes of this kind wouldstamp a man ss being a- blunderer it Is Impossible to say. But It Is certain thatlf hahad made this Identical mistake again Irewould have deserved Immediate discharge.There are some mistakes one can make tenor twenty times a month without being considered a blunderer, but with another classof mlttakes a single one In any length, pttime would prove that the doer was Incompetent The architect who forgets to provideany stairs in a two or three story building Isassuredly In the " no good " class, eventhough the error Is msde only once. Thesame strict standard applies todruggists whocompound prescriptions. They are supposedto work with such cars sad slowness that nomistake can happen. However, a competentdruggist may once In a very long while makea " bad break." A druggist once correctlyfilled two prescriptions at the same time fora customer whose name was familiar to him.A week or two later one of the bottles wsssent back to be refilled. The druggist notedthe number on the bottleandcorrectly foundthat number In his prescription book, butafter having thus found the right page hecarelessly took for bis cue the name of thecustomer and filled the other prescription,which was Just below it Fortunately,neither prescription was at all deadly, andthe customer at once saw by the color of theliquid that the wrong preierlptlon had beenfilled That this blunder was Inexcusable Istrue, but It Is also true that this druggist Is acompetent and careful man Can one mistake of this kind be considered proof that aman Is a blunderer TSome Curious Mistakes.A curious mistake onoe occurred because anemploys omitted " street " and " avenue "when be reported his whereabouts to hissuperior officer atthe other end of the phonewire.

Thedanger that lies in Ignorance was thrllllnglydiscovered by sn army officer In-the Philippine lslacds'who was engaged In construction work" and bad some natives to assist him.One of these natives, who had shown that hewas Intelligent and trustworthy, was toldto to up the hill and bring down a stick ofdynamite in his hand. AH went well untilthe native toward tha end of his descenttossed the stick of dynamite recklessly aheadof him in the direction of the officer, whovery luckily was somewhat of. a baseballplayer and managed to catch it before itstruck the ground. The native received asomewhat exdted lecture on the nature ofdynamite and on the wrongfulness of notobeying orders exactly.Almost every affair ot Importance Is astick of dynamite in disguise, and lack ofknowledge Is spt to bring trouble. Mentionmight be made of a certain large apartmentbuilding- which was built to extend over onanother man's land to the extent of sixInches along the entire eastern side of thebuilding. It Is said that the man thus trespassed against realized the mistake that theywere "making, but -preferred to let the mattergo until the building was entirely completed.His lawyer then demanded that the apartment house be at once moved off that sixInches or damages be paid with generousproportions. As the owner of the apartmentdid not care to tear down his building nor tomove It he had to pay. It is quite probablethat his remarks made in the office of the onewho was responsible for this blunder soundedmuch like a real dynamite explosion, andthat " some one caught it " in an entirelydifferent meaning of those words.W.
